Background

Lindsey worked as an acupuncturist running her own practice in Brighton until she married in 1995 and moved to Suffolk. Here she worked for the Department of Justice initially in the Family Court and then as a Human Resources Officer until 2005 when she commenced her Midwifery degree. Lindsey worked as a midwife until she took up a lecturer’s post at Anglia Ruskin in 2013. Having completed her Masters in Healthcare Education and her NMC teaching qualification, Lindsey has been successful in obtaining a senior lecturer’s post in the Midwifery team in Cambridge.

Research interests

Lindsey is working towards her PhD looking at the role of digital technology in improving screening of neonates at the Newborn and Infant Physical Examination. Lindsey has released an app:  NIPE ‘textbook in a pocket’ for midwives, neonatal nurses, GP’s, and nurse practitioners to use when completing the newborn and infant physical examination (NIPE) screening within 72 hours of birth and again at 6-8 weeks.
